Scientists May Have Discovered How To Extract Power From the Earth's Rotation

"No more burning fossil fuels, playing with fissile material, damming rivers, erecting wind mills, or making solar panels. All of our energy needs could potentially be supplied by the angular kinetic energy of the Earth — and because of the mass of the planet, doing so would slow its rotation down by a mere 7ms per century."

I would feel better about this if the $304 million loan purpose was to research #nuclearwaste management. Ways to reduce or eliminate the #radioactive components of the waste. This zombie corporation formerly known as SNC-Lavalin has been resuscitated and has been on the government dole to the tune of $billions for decades. #nuclearpower

The person with the idea of US taking control of #Ukraine’s #nuclearpower plants is Putin.

Putin’s only fear is that Ukraine develops #nuclearweapons. They could use the plutonium produced by their 3 remaining nuclear plants to do that.

Plutonium bombs arent the most effective nuclear devices. But its simpler tech and extraction from spent nuclear fuel is easier.

Ukraine no longer has NATO option, so it needs nukes to deter Russia from attacking.

#Putin plays #Trump like a fiddle.

🔴 Trump Proposes US Control Over Ukraine's Nuclear Plants

🔸 Trump suggested US ownership of Ukraine’s power plants for security.
🔸 Zelenskyy rejected privatization but welcomed US investment in Zaporizhzhia.
🔸 Westinghouse eyes restoration of the plant to protect its tech interests.
🔸 Restoring Zaporizhzhia could take 2.5 years amid war risks.
